This classic MWC military watch design is based on British forces' models from the 1940s-50s, with subtle upgrades for modern daily wear. The final image shows the twelve companies that originally produced these models (e.g., Omega, Jaeger Le-Coultre). Although MWC was founded in 1974, this watch faithfully captures the spirit of those vintage models.
